Research firm Canalys noted that Apple appears set to become the world’s largest PC manufacturer by volume if the iPad and other tablets are included in the figures. Apple already ranks second behind HP by that measure, but Canalys is unsure whether Apple will take the lead in the fourth quarter of this year or if it will require a boost from the iPad 3 launch early next year in order to surpass HP.

On October 5, 2011 the visionary Apple CEO Steve Jobs lost his eight year battle with cancer. He was many things to many people, but most of all he was a step ahead of technology. His vision and life’s work has influenced me since 1990, when I first started using Apple’s Macintosh. I knew it was something special those many years ago. Not only did he usher in the era of personal computers in the mid 70s, he also led the transformation in the way music, and mobile communications are used throughout the world. Jobs also led the advancement in computer animated movies with the creation Pixar Studio. Steve Jobs will be missed but his legacy will always stand strong and continue to help transfer our world of technology.
